Give the gift of doing with a Home Depot Gift Card. They are ideal for any occasion.
For those who have lost homes because of natural disasters or an elderly person you love in need of a home renovation (a ramp), a Home Depot Gift Card says a great deal. You can use it to budget project expenses and easily track your purchases online.
Why We Love This Gift: Houses are always in need of a little repair. This is an excellent gift for returning servicemen and women as home repairs can be necessary and/or therapeutic to varying degrees. For people trying to extend the independent living of their aging loved one, little things around the house make a difference. Things like rails near the toilet, a ramp, and similar house renovations can make a big difference. People recovering from stroke often need bathrooms and stairs to be retrofitted to help them in their long-term recovery or rehabilitation. For a family with a newly-mobile toddler, installing a gate or bolting a bookshelf to the wall are both helpful beyond measure. The possibilities are endless.
What To Express in Your Card: How can I be most helpful?

Hello there! I am Kimberly, the founder of Vela Haven, and I am thrilled that our paths have crossed!
I am a Pediatric Sleep Consultant, Certified Maternal Health Consultant, Certified Doula, Certified Breastfeeding Specialist, and Lamaze Childbirth Educator. Growing up in the Caribbean, I've witnessed loved ones receiving little to no birth and postpartum support which led to traumatizing experiences. There are many unknowns when it comes to parenthood, and childbirth, but it is incredibly heartbreaking how little we as women are told about these life changing occurrences before actually experiencing them first-hand.
This encouraged me to divulge into my own research on ways in which individuals could be supported. I chose to become a pediatric sleep consultant and doula because there have been many times in my life that I myself, have felt externalized, and disempowered. Because of this, I am driven to make a difference for all families.

Why We Love This Gift: Childcare is expensive. Plus, the gift of Sittercity provides any parent with the support they need. We love this gift because almost any caregiver could use a night (or two) off, especially during hard times.

The card never expires and has no added fees. 
Why We Love This Gift: This is one of those gifts perfect in just about any situation. New moms and those facing stressful pregnancies love a massage. When facing illness, those affected do too. To be frank, self-care is often the first casualty of any crisis. When people are incurring unexpected costs at an alarming rate, the first things to go are the "luxuries." However, those who face highly stressful situations with long/uncertain outcomes are precisely those who should practice aggressive self-care. They won't do it for themselves. You do it for them. Pamper them. Let them know you want them to take a break and that their well-being is a priority.
What To Express In Your Card: I hope you don't mind my sending you this gift certificate. There is no one I know more in need of a massage/facial/yoga class. I know you won't do it for yourself - so I wanted to do it for you. I am sending you love.
